C6 TAB Lapsteel Slow Boat to China

Post by Bert Farroach »

Hi lapsteelers!
A Happy New Year to you all out there !

Slow Boat to China is the new tab. In fact it is just the refrain, because like the lyrics say: "There is no verse to this song, 'cause I don't want to wait a moment too long". :D

Now I'm not a jazz guy, but due to this lapsteelplaying, I'm going deeper and deeper into nice chordchanges, trying to make them easily playable on the neck. Great fun to do !
And there's a little group of people making the journey with me, I notice ! :)

As always I made a clip on YouTube, it's here:

Below is the first part of the tab, and if you want to give it a try, just e-mail me, and I'll send you the complete PDF and the backing track.
In this case I made the track twice as long, so you play the tab twice, or maybe improvise on the second half.

From now on I'm numbering my contributions to have an overview.
Hope you like this one, regards,
Bert
